[or-roots] 1880-1890 Scrapbook clippings of Effie Ann Chapman Shrum

[Robert L. Casebeer]

I have in my possession a scrapbook collected by Effie Ann Chapman Shrum, the wife of Stephen J. Shrum of Glide, Oregon, which has obituaries, marriage notices, and considerable literary materials--poems essays etc. Most of these date from 1883 through 1891 and include people she knew or knew of. She had attended Umpqua Academy at Wilbur and some of the reason for inclusion was no doubt that they had met in some way.  The Shrum, Mathews, Chapman, Singleton, Wimberly and Atterbury families--all located east of Roseburg in eithe the Glide or Oak Creek area are listed.  Interested individuals may contact me at casebeer at jeffnet.org and I will send a copy of the requested item via e-mail to those persons.
